Evolution was not the cause of the breakup of Pangaea. Pangaea broke up by a process called rifting. Upwelling in Earth's mantle started to pull the conteinent apart. As the curst thinned, it led to the formation of volcanoes, which generated new crust, helping to push the continent apart. Evolution is the process by which groups of organisms change over time. While the breakup of Pangaea undoubtedly affected the course of evolution, evolution had nothing to do with causing the breakup.

What is affect evolution?

The term coevolution (affect) is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. So for example, an evolutionary change in the morphology of a plant, might affect the morphology of an herbivore that eats the plant, which in turn might affect the evolution of the plant, which might affect the evolution of the herbivore and so on.


Why is Pangaea important to understand?

Understanding Pangaea is important because it provides evidence for the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates. The breakup of Pangaea has influenced the distribution of continents and oceans, as well as the evolution of life on Earth. Studying Pangaea helps scientists understand the Earth's geological history and predict future changes in the planet's landscape.

Why did climate affect Pangaea?

Climate affected Pangaea because of its size and position on Earth. As a supercontinent, Pangaea's interior regions were far from the moderating effects of the oceans, leading to extreme climate conditions. Additionally, the arrangement of Pangaea's landmasses affected ocean currents and atmospheric circulation patterns, influencing global climate.


How does Pangaea affect us?

Pangea is one great landmass. It is not Pangaea that affects us. The term you are probably thinking of is continental drift, which is the moving of the Earth's tectonic plates. Scientists believe that as time moves on the countries are going to drift farther apart. Also, as they drift farther apart, they are technically moving closer together, and once again will form Pangaea. Hope that answers your question.

I am doing a project on Pangaea and i need both sides of the argument to whether Pangaea existed or not i have the part tha t says yes it does exist but i need thr other side?

Many people who do not believe in science or the theory of evolution will also reject the theory of Pangaea, and this view is usually held by religious people who believe that God was the only one who created the Earth.
